Facing a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

As the old man lured the Evil Eye Tyrant away into the distance, the remaining few immediately began their move.

The playful expressions on the faces of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen faded, and they stopped bickering.

Ye Luochen's expression also turned serious and solemn in an instant.

After exchanging a glance, the group did not delay in the slightest and immediately headed in the opposite direction.

Since a 50,000-year-cultivation Evil Eye Tyrant could appear, who knew if there might be a second one.

Without the protection of a Rank 9 Soul Engineer, their trio's lineup would likely face a grim fate if they were to encounter another 50,000-year-level soul beast.

Just as they had been dodging and weaving for over ten minutes, thinking it was about time to stop, misfortune struck.

Three more Evil Eyes suddenly appeared right before their eyes.

"Damn it!"

Seeing such a streak of bad luck, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but curse.

"Did we run into a curse today? Why are all these Evil Eyes wandering the outer perimeter, and why do we keep bumping into them?"

However, cursing was one thing, but none of the people present—neither the Hongchen siblings nor Ye Luochen—were particularly panicked at this moment.

This was because the three Evil Eyes before them were significantly smaller in size than the previous Evil Eye Tyrant, with cultivation levels estimated to be only around ten thousand years.

Soul beasts of this level were still a bit lacking if they wanted to threaten the three of them.

"It's one thing for a 50,000-year-old one to act up, but a few 10,000-year-old ones dare to block our path? I've been cooped up in that membrane space all afternoon; it's the perfect time to vent my frustration on you lot!"

Xiao Hongchen shouted angrily, then tapped his foot and charged forward on his own initiative.

Seeing this, Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up slightly.

"I'm in too. There are exactly three of them; let's each take one and see who finishes first."

With that, she lifted her leg and flew into the fray as well.

Seeing the Hongchen siblings charge up and each engage an Evil Eye, Ye Luochen was momentarily stunned.

He hadn't been panicked earlier because both siblings were Soul Kings and Rank 5 Soul Engineers, so their combat power naturally far exceeded that of 10,000-year soul beasts.

Therefore, even though he had only just reached Rank 40, the odds were definitely in their favor in a three-on-three fight.

As it turned out, the siblings had charged in immediately.

Not only had they kindly left him one Evil Eye, but they had also started a competition to see who could finish off their opponent first.

Ye Luochen really wanted to say that they didn't need to leave one for him, and this inexplicable competition was completely unnecessary.

He would have been perfectly content just playing a supporting role from the back.

But clearly, the die was cast, and it was too late to say anything now.

In fact, it wasn't just Ye Luochen who was stunned; the remaining Evil Eye felt the same way.

In its past experience, humans were best at team coordination.

When they first discovered these three, the three Evil Eyes had actually been somewhat hesitant.

Because of their powerful spiritual energy, they could clearly sense that two of the humans had auras stronger than their own.

In such a situation, if the three Evil Eyes faced human soul masters known for their cooperation, they likely wouldn't gain any advantage.

Yet, at the first encounter, those two powerful soul masters had charged toward its brothers.

Was it left with only this human with the weaker aura in front of it?

Screech!

The Evil Eye let out an excited shriek.

An opportunity, a perfect opportunity!

Human soul masters were excellent supplements for soul beasts, and picking off this human with a weak aura was a godsend!

As long as it finished him off, devoured him, and then went to assist the other two Evil Eyes, even if those two humans had impressive auras, they would never be a match for the combined strength of three Evil Eyes!

By then, all three Evil Eyes would receive a massive boost from the nourishment of these three human soul masters.

And it, undoubtedly, would be the biggest winner!

The Evil Eye's reaction was not lost on Ye Luochen, and it wasn't hard for him to guess what it was thinking.

"Looks like I've been underestimated."

"It's no wonder; judging by my aura, I'm only at Rank 40, which corresponds to a soul beast with only a few thousand years of cultivation."

"It is only reasonable to be looked down upon by a ten-thousand-year-level Evil Eye."

Ye Luochen sighed leisurely.

But the next moment, Ye Luochen's eyes flared brightly, his soul power surging without reservation as his Dark Iron Blade took form and three soul rings appeared in its wake.

"However, if that is what you think, then I am afraid you will not live to see tomorrow's sun."

As his voice fell, all three soul rings lit up simultaneously.

"First Soul Skill, Sharp!"

"Second Soul Skill, Wind Blade!"

"Third Soul Skill, Blade Shadow!"

The small Dark Iron Blade erupted with light, and as Ye Luochen swung his arm, the sound of the blade tearing through the air exploded.

Before the Evil Eye could react, Ye Luochen had already struck with his blade and returned to his original position.

On the main body of the Evil Eye's eyeball, a massive wound appeared, spanning the entire width of its diameter.

The next moment, the entire eyeball collapsed like a deflated ball.

Puchi!

A large amount of translucent liquid poured out from the wound.

The tentacles that had been flailing about stopped and began to droop slowly.

It was only as the liquid within the eyeball continued to drain that the Evil Eye realized something was wrong, instinctively trying to muster its strength to resist.

But the liquid within its eye was the very source of its spiritual essence; without that foundation, where would it find the power to fight back?

In the end, it could only fall powerlessly to the ground with a heavy thud.

A moment later, a pitch-black soul ring condensed from the shattered eyeball, floating quietly in mid-air.

"No way? You're that fast?!"

From the side, Xiao Hongchen's surprised voice rang out.

Following that, a massive roar erupted as Xiao Hongchen stopped holding anything back, unleashing a torrent of powerful firepower that blasted his own Evil Eye into fragments in mere moments.

Meng Hongchen was the same; using some unknown method, the Evil Eye that had been imposing just a moment ago, without a single scratch on it, suddenly dropped dead on the ground with a snap.

After the siblings finished off their respective opponents, they immediately drifted over and landed in front of Ye Luochen.

Looking at the soul ring that had already finished condensing, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but turn to look at Ye Luochen.

"Confess, do you have a high-level soul tool given to you by Grandfather? Otherwise, how could you be the last to start the fight but the first to finish?"

Meng Hongchen's voice followed immediately after:

"There isn't a trace of soul tool energy residue here, and the Evil Eye's corpse only has a single blade wound. If I'm not mistaken, this Evil Eye, just like that Mandala Snake from before, was killed instantly by Ye Luochen in one strike."

"How can those be the same? What was the age of that Mandala Snake, and what is the age of this Evil Eye? You're telling me that Ye Luochen, with his level forty cultivation, killed this ten-thousand-year Evil Eye in one strike?"

Xiao Hongchen clearly did not believe his sister's assessment. Or rather, he was unwilling to believe it.

"Sigh~"

"My dear brother, is it really that hard to admit that someone else is better than you?"
